Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  3. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into squares (about 4×4 inches).
  4. Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture in the center of each pastry square.
  5. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle, and pinch the edges to seal them tightly.
  6. Transfer the filled pastries to the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Once baked, let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a dollop of sour cream if desired!

Chef’s Tips

  • For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs like dill or chives into the filling.
  • Make sure to thoroughly squeeze excess moisture from the spinach to prevent soggy pastries.
  • These puffs can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking for a convenient appetizer option.
